This week, much like the whole of this summer, has been a whirlwind. Maybe I need to start looking forward to something enough that time slow down a little bit. I don’t think I ever expected life would move like this, especially after leaving my day job to work for myself. No complaints here, however!

As for the weekend, we’re booked. We’ve been hosting an annual end-of-summer party since we bought our house four years ago, and this means lots of prep, last-minute gardening (because by this time in the summer I’ve let it all go — one should really plan better), beer and wine calculating and cleaning. This year, we decided to up the ante and have our downstairs bathroom remodeled the week beforehand. What can I say? We like a challenge.
